What's up with the naming of rage forked projects?
OpenMaxIO, Forgejo, Valkey, OpenTofu..
Some worse than the others, but still..
Btw, MinIO making these not "open open-source" moves should not be a surprise. Since the beginning, YEARS ago their own CEO, lead people talked in a way it was clear they wanted to follow the Hashicorp book, a few years later they've taken quite a few hundreds of millions in investment.
So let's not be childish, adopt it for what it is and when it happens adapt it for what it is.

The project was originally called OpenTF, which makes sense since Terraform config code almost always ends in `.tf`, but HashiCorp sent out the lawyers, so they had to change names. Plus, it goes well with OpenBao, their Vault fork.
